Full Series Official Star Wars Rebels Discussion Thread (Spoilers Allowed)

I'll have to disagree with you on that perspective. Ahsoka is more widely appealing to everyone; which is why Filoni and company carried on her story into Rebels. And the fact that she was Anakin's Padawan, well that brings it to a whole other level. I really doubt at this point most viewers of the Rebels series are quick to identify Ezra as "our guy". We still don't know that much about him, or where he belongs in the SW universe as a whole. And Rebels isn't only about him, it's about the entire Ghost Crew; who itself is part of the larger rebellion. The thing that made TCW the award-winning show that it was, it had different character arcs throughout the series, frequently abandoning the "main" characters altogether. It put a human face to the clones (sorry, but Obi-Wan calling a clone by his first name in ROTS doesn't count).

 

By that statement I'm sure you're trying to suggest TCW was centered around Ahsoka, which of course it was not.

 

You said, "the one reason I like it so much is because it doesn't center on one character". So we're to assume that remark wasn't a reference to "......unlike that other series"?

 

Then I'll take the non-answer as a "no".

 

To be honest, if they got rid of all the ghost crew members except Kanan I'd be perfectly fine.

 

Fine, than I'll apologize for assuming that your suggestion on liking Rebels because it doesn't focus on a single character has anything to do with the way the characters on TCW were portrayed.

 

Then you’ll have people complaining that it’s become The Ahsoka show.

 

Give it a year and Rebels will probably become


Ahsoka VS Vader: Dawn Of The rebellion-featuring the crew of the ghost

 

I know you're being facetious with that post, but only taking it from an alternate perspective, what Rebels does so well is that it has something for EVERYONE. For those among us that have yet to be overly ambitious about what stories the Ghost Crew will find themselves in, we still have the long awaited Ahsoka/Vader confrontation to look forward to.

 

I'm still waiting for the show to have something for me. But I'm sure you were generalizing with the "something for everyone" comment.

 

I was generalizing. If you don't like the Ghost Crew, and didn't care for Ahsoka's story through TCW, then you're right; you would be waiting for Rebels to have something for you.

 

I was watching a rebels episode today when my brother, whom has never seen the show, came in and started asking who everyone was supposed to be to which I replied without thinking....

"That's Kanan, the only character in this show worth caring about, the rest are all crap"

 

Again, I think it's unfair to speak so harshly about the characters when we really don't know too much about them. It took five seasons of TCW for many people to come to terms with how they felt about Ahsoka; much less the other new characters introduced in the series.

 

Dunno, they had an entire season to develop these characters, about 290 minutes, that's about three movies in total.

 

Well you could blame that on format. They've only lightly touched on Ezra's family. Kanan has the comics to fall back on. I assume Hera has the novel (with Kanan). Zeb has had some hints, and Sabine nothing. It would've been great if there was a feature-length movie where we get to see how the Ghost Crew came together. Kind of like the original Clone Wars movie where we see Anakin first being assigned his new Padawan.

 

I cared more about Ahsoka after just half an hour the original TCW movie than I do about the entire ghost crew (excluding Kanan). I want to care about them but...........

I actually care about Hera in A New Dawn, however in the series she's just too self righteous

 

I may be biased, but Ahsoka had a very likable personality; especially when we got to see her chemistry between Anakin and Obi-Wan. This morning I was re-watching the episode where Dooku was captured by the pirates after being chased by Anakin and Obi-Wan. They get stuck in a cave, only to be rescued by Ahsoka and her clone units. They brush it off as if they had everything under control, and the expression Ahsoka gives them is just priceless. Gotta love her

 

She's actually a lot like a teenage babysitter playing the mature adult. Dunno, maybe I could buy into it if I was younger.

 

I had some assumption that Hera was in fact the little Twi'lek girl that the clones and Obi-Wan rescued/befriended. Guess I was wrong.
